Heroin/opioids crisis? What about cigarettes?

In a car no. If they live in a one-room house or apartment no.

 

Well, parents who smoke often do try not to smoke in front of their kids. Obviously this doesn't apply to all parents who smoke.

I've never known an obese parent, who personally ate like shit, but also made sure their kid ate healthy.

 

Wait till you meet the lardbuckets who obsess over their kids' baseball careers.

 

That really ought to be the first line of a novel.

 

In that vein, the Widette family is well-represented in most volleyball settings.

 

So you know the parenting approach of all those obese parents? Or perhaps you are going back to your usual habit of making shit up. I'm quite happy to bet on the latter.

 

President Trump will be holding a "major briefing" on the opioid crisis 3 p.m. today.

I'm sure it will be followed by an address by Vice President Pence's calling for a repeal of all regulations restricting cigarette smoking in public places and a ban on anti-tobacco advertising and Surgeon General's warnings on cigarette packages.

 

Yeah, I bet that won't happen.

It's pretty funny that you're trying to turn Mike Pence into the boogeyman on the tobacco issue.

But, this issue does seem very important and personal to you.

So, in 2000, did you vote for President for the guy who used to own a tobacco farm, and who said this:

Throughout most of my life, I’ve raised tobacco…I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I’ve hoed it. I’ve chopped it. I’ve shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it and sold it.

 

An Inconvenient Admission/Confession.

 

What about me?

 

You would probably be all right if you hadn't hitched your star to the sports journalism message board equivalent of Donald Trump. You are his Anthony Scaramucci. You and Double J both seek and are satiated by his approval. God knows why.

 

You're right on target.

Anyway, I just stopped by to post this: In Defense of Cigarettes

Wondered how this thread could have made it to 10 pages. Not surprised it happened in the usual way. Carry on.
